Memory devices that are used to store data are classified into volatile memory devices and nonvolatile memory devices. Flash memory devices that are nonvolatile memory devices may be used in mobile phones, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable computers, fixed computers, and other devices. The nonvolatile memory devices may need to be controlled to operate adaptively in view of data retention characteristics to improve the reliability thereof.
